Episode description


The project to permanently shrink the British state and to inflict mass hardship on the most vulnerable which was commenced after 2010 has cost untold numbers of lives. The last calculations put the dead at around 338,000 people but it is likely now to be far higher and Britain has exchanged one austerity government for another. Now the Labour Party continues the brutal economic assault on the poor, the unwell and the disabled that the previous Conservative administrations had commenced. Today I am joined by my good friend Dr Rachel Morris, former editor of the citizen journalism project Bylines Cymru who has published an anthology of writing from the website callled Downwardly Mobile.
